Today on Your Call: What makes a great children’s book?

On the next Your Call, we’ll mark the 75th anniversary of Dr. Seuss’s first children’s book by talking about classic kids books, and the remarkable children’s literature being written right now. Why are the bonds we make with those special children’s books so powerful? And when stories like The Lorax head to the big screen – or the iPad -- how does the magic of a grown-up reading to a kid change?

Guests:

Carla Kozak, children’s librarian at San Francisco Public Library.

Mac Barnett, author of several picture books, including the New York Times bestselling Extra Yarn, Guess Again!, and Billy Twitters and His Blue Whale Problem.
